Bolton Chairman Phil Gartside has popped his head above the parapet again. An article in today's
Guardian has once again floated the idea of a two tier Premier League. This would involve the
co-opting of the current Cocaleague into the EPL structure, with those Bhoys and Gers from Glasgow
added to taste.

Tony Mowbray was being as philosophical as ever yesterday when he spoke about being a "performance"
coach. Leave it to others to judge his team on "results."A jolly Corinthian approach for sure but
one that doesn't quite answer his growing band of critics. Results matter and nowhere is that more
keenly felt than in the east end of Glasgow.

We've got our first ever football map of Scotland this month by sports map guru Bill Turianski.
The simple and obvious fact of Scottish football, known to most if not all of you, is the
overwhelming dominance of Glasgow's Old Firm duo Celtic and Rangers. And it shines right through on
the map and attendance table.

En la liga escocesa solo pueden ganar el campeonato cualquiera de estos dos equipos de Glasgow,
los Rangers o el Celtic. Que uno de los dos no sea campeón es un fenómeno muy raro, tan extraño
como que caiga nieve en Haití o Jamaica.
Así que imaginen ustedes lo que significa el enfrentamiento entre Rangers y Celtics, es el
máximo clásico del país de "Braveheart", y en esta ocasión, The Old Firm como se le conoce, se
fue para los Rangers.

Colorado Rapids - With the Rapids two draws last week they are now 3rd int he West and 5th overall
in MLS. New England and Chivas are lurking right behind them with games in hand though, and
Colorado no longer has games in hand over the teams in front of them. The Rapids are tied for 2nd
in goals scored with DC and Columbus and are 6th in goals allowed.

Continental giants keen on talented winger.
And both Juventus and Bayern Munich want to pay £10m for the privilege of having Aiden

Celtic officially presented new signing Zheng Zhi at Celtic Park earlier today. The China captain
has signed a one-year contract with a one-year option with the Glasgow club. The 29-year-old Zhi
left previous club Charlton Athletic in June following his expiration and the Addicks 'relegation
to League One.

Teaching Ideas
Continuing in our series of interviews with people who just don't like football, we interview
Peter from Scotland on some of the reasons why he has never been a fan of the 'beautiful game'.
Listen to the first of our interviews on this topic here in. To help you understand there is a
vocabulary list containing the words in bold at the foot of this post.

After the disaster that was last week's SPL predictions I'm hoping for a turnaround this week. Four
draws last week including both sides of the Old Firm. Who'd have thought it?So this week. Mixed
fortunes in Europe for Glasgow's ugly sisters on the back of dropped SPL points last weekend. More
of the same this week?

Wednesday, Sept. 9, 2009 Netherlands 1: 0 Scotland today at Hampden Park (here's the
minute-by-minute report).
As George Burley said, Scotland deserved at least something from the match at home in which they
threatened the woodwork serially.

Yes,
DaMarcus Beasley was spotted at DSG Park with Cory Gibbs at the weekend and,
no, that doesn't mean he is set to leave Glasgow for Denver.
Gary Smith, today
discussing the likelihood of the Rapids picking up a midfielder before the September 15 deadline,
dismissed speculation the Rangers player could be joining up with his good friend in Colorado.

The last qualification game for Oranje against Scotland in Glasgow will not have any serious
implications. After an impressive qualification series, Holland doesn't need to win anymore.
Anything goes. In fact, the Glasgow game is as relevant as the friendly against Japan, last
Saturday. But, a rarity looms.

.Scotland managed to keep their slim world cup dream alive as they overcame a stubborn and
technical Macedonian side. The boo's and jeers rang out around a wet Hampden Park at half-time as
the performance from the Tartan Army was less than convincing. Macedonia dominated much of the
first period and found hole after hole in [.

The summer transfer window was a chance DaMarcus Beasley needed for a change of scenery. It was
clear that Glasgow was not the place for the winger if he hoped to resurrect both his club and
country career. Unfortunately for Beasley, rumors of a switch from Rangers to either Germany or
Spain failed to come through today.

Morning All,
There isn't a great deal happening in the wonderful world of Arsenal Football Club per se but
today does in fact mark the beginning of an exciting yet equal testing week ahead for the club.
Despite the upcoming games against Celtic midweek followed by those foul mancs, all talk still
seems to be revolving around the Portsmouth Game (Rightly So).

by CARL ELDRIDGE Celtic put to the sword in emphatic style but Eduardo's dive for a penalty is the
centre of the papers' attention this morning. And when dear old AW admits it was never a pen it is
one of those days when we have to take the stick on the Crazilian's behalf as the spotlight is
moved away from what was a routine victory with some slick play to accusations of cheating.

They've struck again. It looks like Cesc F bregas will be out for up to three weeks with a
hamstring problem. He'll certainly miss tonight's game against Celtic and probably Saturday's game
at Old Trafford. Great. We really don't get a break with injuries, do we? <?xml:namespace prefix

Arsène Wenger is copping a fair amount of flack from some Gooners for risking Cesc when he was
carrying a hamstring tweak last weekend against Pompey.

Today is the return leg against Celtic. The bottom line in this game is that we've already got
one foot in the group stages, and simply need to do a professional job today to finish them
off.
It is tempting, with the United game coming up this weekend, to think that this is a good chance
for squad rotation.

After strong showings in the first leg of the playoff round, both Lyon and Arsenal are in a
comfortable position to enter the group stage. Lyon can claim a tenth consecutive group-stage
appearance unless they completely fall apart. The French club overwhelmed RSC Anderlecht 5-1 last
week, while a 2-0 deficit would appear insurmountable for Celtic FC as they travel to London to
take on Arsenal.

Harry looks to beef up squad.
HARRY REDKNAPP has targeted Celtic stars Aiden McGeady and Scott Brown to bolster his
Tottenham squad after their impressive Premier League start.
Bhoys' Republic of Ireland winger McGeady, 23, would also provide cover for Luka Modric in the
playmaker role.

Siempre me he declarado fan del Arsenal. Ya sea por su estilo de juego o por su estilo en los
despachos desde que llegó Arsene Wenger. Pero he de admitir que en los últimos años me había

en el Emirates Stadium eran casi siempre las mismas.
